using up the figs

Tweet

Every Aug/Sept I am faced with the daunting task of what to do with all the fruit we get from a large fig tree. The first year I made too much jam, the second year I made it again but this time with lemons, which improved the taste. This year I dried the fruit and yesterday, thanks to a recipe on the internet, I made dried fig biscuits. They are a real treat, taste far better than the shop ones and of course contain more figs. They are simple to make, rather like making sausage rolls with sweet pastry and mashed up figs.
